China Academy of Social Sciences Experts say the income gap between urban and rural areas about 4-6 times
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Urban Development and Environment Research Center Houkai Wei, deputy director, said today that the situation last year, China’s urban-rural income gap is still relatively high, urban-rural income ratio is 3.31. If taking into account the comparability factors, the income gap between urban and rural areas about 4-6 times. Urban-rural income gap in 2000 is only 2.79. 100 from each home computer ownership, the last year in urban areas reached 59.3 units, than in rural areas about 10 times.
Wei Houkai said so far, China’s regional economic or urban development or has reached a new stage of transformation and upgrading. Judging from the present situation, in the past some years, the traditional model of urban development has come to an end.
Wei Houkai said, the first point, China’s regional economic growth, or urban growth or is a high-growth mode. For example, from 2007, the national GDP growth of 13.0%, 11.4% in the first release, and later adjusted to 11.9% in the beginning of this year was adjusted to 13.0%. However, we have 31 provinces, municipalities, and after the growth rate of total and found that GDP growth rate is 14.2%. If we put more than 200 cities the growth rate of addition, the prefecture-level cities is 15.3%, from the urban point of view, the growth rate is 15.6%. It should be said that the growth rate is a high growth in the world are rare. From last year’s situation, the National Bureau of Statistics released the national growth rate is 9.0%, but 31 provinces, municipalities, and the growth rate of 11.8 percent is, of course, this growth rate is the growth rate of the central and western regions, northeast China’s growth rate far higher in the eastern region. Only the growth rate of the central and western regions over the coastal areas, our region will it be possible to narrow the gap.
The second point, high consumption. Our production is to rely on a lot of energy, land, raw material consumption to be achieved.
Third, the high emissions. Unit GDP energy consumption and waste emissions in the world are very high.
Fourth, the development of chaos. Development over the past one-sided development of some coastal areas, such as the Pearl River Delta has a high degree of development, the Shenzhen Development to achieve the level of 40%, 38% in Dongguan. Only 19% of Hong Kong, Japan is 15%, Brazil, only 21%, only 20% of Stuttgart, Germany.
Fifth, lack of coordination. From the city’s point of view, we feel that the main performance in several ways. First, the region is between the urban development can not be reconciled. For example, the level of urban development in coastal areas is much higher than the Midwest. However, after last year, due to the impact of financial crisis, the central and western regions of the urban growth rate has exceeded the coastal areas.
Wei Houkai specifically pointed out that last year’s situation, China’s urban-rural income gap is still relatively high, urban-rural income ratio is 3.31. If taking into account the comparability factors, the income gap between urban and rural areas about 4-6 times. Urban-rural income gap in 2000 is only 2.79. 100 from each home computer ownership, the last year in urban areas reached 59.3 units, than in rural areas about 10 times.
It is understood that the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in the morning of June 15 in Academic Auditorium Academy of Social Sciences held a layer of “2009 China Summit Forum on Urban Development” Urban Blue Book “conference.” Blue Book Report of the city from the macro-and micro-level comprehensive review of the year 2007 and 2008 the overall development of Chinese cities and the phase characteristics, systematic analysis of the context of the financial crisis facing China’s urban development problems and challenges, and from the economic, social, environmental, urban construction and other aspects of urban development in China in 2009 conducted a situation analysis and forecast.
